Selling or Buying a 1971 Lotus Elan?

1971 Lotus ElanThe first Lotus Elan was built in 1962 and the model remained in production until 1973. In 1971, a special Elan Sprint series is introduced, based on the previous series 4 and powered by the 1.6-liter, 126-hp engine. Design-wise, its bicolored body with white lower panels, a gold separation line, and upper color chosen by the buyer distinguished the Lotus Elan Sprint. After a few years featuring Zenith-Stromberg depression carburetors, the Elan Sprint switches back to the Weber carburetors while keeping the bump on the hood created to fit the higher Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. A four-seater model was also offered from 1967, called the Lotus Elan Plus 2or +2. Its chassis was longer and the roof slightly higher. The 1971 Lotus Elan +2 was powered by the big valve, 126-hp engine of the Sprint models and was named the Lotus Elan +2 S130.
